MARCH NEWSLETTER: THE MARCH EDITION OF THE CHILDREN ART CLUB, AN UNEQUAL ART ENGAGEMENT FOR THE NIGERIAN CHILD

The
Children Art Club in Abeokuta is moving forward with increase in
participation, a creative outlet where the kids come together every
third Saturdays of the month to express unhindered their artistic
talents and learn new skills. In the words of Pablo Picasso, “Every child is an artist; the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up”.

The children are our most precious resources; when we fail to recognize
these kids’ talents, they recede and diminished. We cannot allow their
God’s given talents to go to waste. With the right guidance and
stimulating environment, the children can be helped to discover and
harness their inner creative genius. And such we have provided every
time the Children Art Club is held at the Cultural and Musical Heritage
Centre, OLUMO ROCK, Ikija, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. The March
edition was held on March 21 while the next edition holds on 18th April,
1015. The Children Art Club remains FREE for the Nigerian children
to participate with free entrance to Olumo Rock, Free Art supplies for
artistic engagements and no fee paid for the quality of the creative
instructions and art education received.

Recognizing student’s
achievement is the key to encouraging motivation and engagement. That’s
what propels us to introduce varieties of international Art contest to
the children at the last edition of the Children Art Club in March. The
children created diverse works of Art on the following themes; Peace,
friendship, nature etc. using art media such as coloured pencils, water
colour, crayon, collage, and acrylic. It is amazing the level of
creativity and ingenuity displayed by the children from the art works
they created under the period of two hours. In today’s world, the
children will need to be inventive, resourceful and imaginative. And the
best way to foster that creativity is through Art education. Sincerely,
any artistic endeavor engaged with the children should be fully
supported and encouraged. Our mission is to provide the children with
the opportunity to learn and develop their creative potentials for both
personal and social-economic benefits.

The CHILDREN ART CLUB was
established to provide an outlet for enriching creative activities for
the kids with aim of promoting Art Education at the grassroots; to
unlock talents, encourage aspirations and nurture creativity. More so,
it is a creative platform for every child irrespective of their status
and social background to help them harness, maximize and express
unhindered their God’s given potentials in a serene environment that
inspire creativity.

The CHILDREN ART CLUB is endorsed by InSEA (www.insea.org),
powered by the TEACHING VISUAL ART, and TEACHING VISUAL ART will like
to collaborate and partner with other organization to create an artistic
engagement and resources to aid talent development for the Nigerian
children. The next edition of the CHILDREN ART CLUB comes up on
Saturday 18th day of April, 2015. Registration will commence by 9am; the
Art session starts by 10am and will end at noon at the usual venue, the
Cultural and Musical Heritage Centre, OLUMO ROCK, Ikija, Abeokuta, Ogun
State, Nigeria. We will like to appreciate the president of Olumo
Art Movement, Mr. Kola Anidugbe for providing us the space we use for
the art engagement; and many thanks to our facilitators, Mr. Yinka
Olagoke, Segun Shorungbe and Prince Olusegun Adeniyi. We also recognize
